Abstract

Reproductive health is a fundamental competency that must be mastered by midwifery students because it is closely related to professional practice in maternal and child health services. This study aims to analyze determine the level of knowledge of students of the Faculty of Midwifery at the Medistra Health Institute, Lubuk Pakam, regarding reproductive health. The study design used a quantitative descriptive approach with a cross-sectional method. The study sample consisted of 100 students selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS software with descriptive statistical tests and Pearson correlation. The results showed that 72% of students had a good level of knowledge, 20% had a sufficient level of knowledge, and 8% had a poor level of knowledge. The correlation analysis showed a positive relationship between knowledge level and semester (r = 0.416; p < 0.05), meaning that the higher the semester, the better the level of knowledge. The conclusion of this study indicates that the level of student knowledge about reproductive health is quite good, but it is necessary to improve continuous education through contextual learning and field-based training.

Abstract

Breast engorgement is a common problem in postpartum mothers, caused by milk stasis due to constriction of the lactiferous ducts or inadequate emptying of the mammary glands. In Indonesia, this condition affects approximately 10–20% of breastfeeding mothers, or around 2.3 million women. The 2024 Indonesian Health Survey reported an incidence of 24.8% among lactating mothers in North Sumatra Province. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of cabbage leaf compresses in reducing breast engorgement among postpartum mothers at the Nining Pelawati Midwife Clinic, Lubuk Pakam District, in 2025. A quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach was used. A total of 35 postpartum mothers experiencing breast engorgement were selected through total sampling. The intervention consisted of cold cabbage leaf compresses applied twice daily for 20–30 minutes. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test to compare engorgement levels before and after the intervention. Before treatment, most respondents experienced moderate (65.7%), severe (22.9%), and mild (11.4%) engorgement. After the intervention, engorgement levels decreased to mild in 65.7% of respondents, moderate in 28.6%, and severe in only 5.7%. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference between pre- and post-intervention conditions (Z = -3.140; p = 0.002). In conclusion, cabbage leaf compresses are significantly effective in reducing breast engorgement in postpartum mothers. This non-pharmacological method is recommended as a safe, simple, and cost-effective alternative for managing postpartum breast swelling.
